Do I have to give my cell phone number to my ex husband if my decree only states that I have to give it to the clerk of court?
My ex-husband calls me sometimes 3-4 times a day and it doesn’t always pertain to our daughter. He is very non-compliant with our decree, meaning he comes for visitation when he wants, he won’t go through the clerk of court to pay child support, but must give it to me directly and requests an affadavit be notorized and returned to the COC. I am very stressed by his harrassment of my daughter, myself, and my current spouse. he also hates my husband and is constantly trying to get into his business by online searches about him. He also makes her tell him who her dad is and she gets very upset.

If the court decree states that your cellular phone number is to be given to the court clerk where the maritial dissolution occurred and not to your former husband, then you have no legal obligation to give the former husband your cellular phone number.
As to the problems that the former husband seems to be creating for your current family unit, perhaps you might consider consulting with a family law attorney about means to try and minimize the perceived harassment that he is inflicting upon you and others.
